Outside of work, Silver enjoys fostering ringworm kittens for Rogue Community Cat Rescue in her designated “fungal jungle” reading, camping, exploring, kayaking, assisting with medical treatments for cats in RCCR’s care, organizing low-cost spay and neuter clinics, going on cruises, and occasionally helping Rogue Valley Street Dogs. Most recently, her labor of love has been renovating her 1950s home.

Michaela Langston

Large Animal Assistant

Michaela joined the CAC Large Animal team in June 2018. She comes from a background of showing horses, primarily in western disciplines, and during this time developed a passion for equine sports medicine and wellness. During her time on ranches and also working at Crater, she learned a lot about other livestock and loves providing nursing care to all that come through the doors.

Michaela is also a second generation dog woman, having grown up with Black and Tan coonhounds that competed in both the AKC ring as well as hunting and field trials. One day, however, she (accidentally) got her first Australian Cattle Dog – and learned quickly that the dog needed a job. She dove headfirst into dog sports and the rest is history! She now owns a small herd of cattle dogs, each with titles in a variety of AKC sports including conformation, agility, competitive obedience, and more.

When she is not at the clinic, find her on the road – either to the next training venue or the next dog show!

Small Animal Assistant

Jenna has worked at Crater animal Clinic since 2021. her favorite procedures to help with are dentals and scrubbing in on orthopedic surgeries.

Currently pursuing her Veterinary Technician certification, she’s on a mission to expand her skills and make a difference for pets of all shapes and sizes.
